Angry Minifigures are not harming children
Angry Minifigures (lego guys) has recently been a hot topic on the media ever since a study was conducted and showed that more angry Minifigures are being made than happy ones.
Gusses were made and opinions taken. Even some sources guessed that this might be harming children. The truth is out: Angry minifigures are not harming children. These studies don't even prove that the angry faces are affecting children. All they prove is that the LEGO company has been changing the expressions of their minifigures to help inspire creativity, and help kids (and adults) be able to play with LEGO products more easily.
look at these images below, and consider the following.In this classic scene "Shelob Attacks" from lord of the rings we have three different Minifigure expressions. Frodo: scared or mad, Sam: Nervous, or Mad, and Golem: mad/ grinning (hard to tell with him).
Now wouldn't this scene look cheesy if Golem was grinning, Sam was looking happy about finding his friend tied up, and Frodo being thrilled about being captured? The answer is clear: YES!
The new expressions that LEGO has made can inspire creativity, and help kids and adults make and build scenes easier. The truth is, angry Minifigures are not harming children!

Lego gun control
A kindergartener age 6 was riding on a bus on his way to school, holding an average Lego Minifigure gun less then the size of a quarter, when another kid in the bus shouted to the driver that he had a gun.
The unnamed six year old kid was forced to write a letter to the bus driver to apologize for the incident. He had to serve a one day detention, and temporary suspension from riding the bus.
The kid who tattled on the boy with the lego gun was forced to apologize to the bus driver as well, but faced no additional charges.
A letter was sent to the boy's parents assuring that it was just a lego brick, and not a real gun. They put the boy in detention any way.
